Nature. Work as a guide in Dragon Safari (Dragesafari). Fascinated, intrigued and absorbed by creating bonfires like the first humans. Adventurous. Performance artist now and then. Frisbee nerd. Climb trees as a pay job. Every morning I like to say to myself: "I am still existing. Fantastic!" Preparing for the dark winter of Norway. I like the cold and the dark, the light, the humble, the crazy, the untouched, the unexperienced and our kitchen squirrel. Spit fire. Master of crazy balancing stunts on rooftops, trees etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Itˆs perfect to get the right inside view, the interesting view on a new place or town by entering it through the home of an inhabitant. I am inspired by the idea and the openness that follows. Our home is the world and we share it, so let´s share our local roof as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The experience of living in a tent in a forrest in Norway for half a year during one winter from October ´til March.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nature Connection
Sailing
Climbing

I learn:
Languages, bits and pieces here and there :-) Russian, French, German, Arabic, Spanish

What I Can Share with Hosts

Secrets of my hometown, Oslo and the forrest nearby. Hint for one of the secrets: One of the best kept secrets involves the brother of one of Norways most famous sculpture artists. This place is remarkable. It has "changed" all the people I have brought there!

I am up to date on a lot of exibitions, openings, concerts and culture events.

I live in the center of the city twenty minutes from the edge of three different forrests, Østmarka, Nordmarka and Lillomarka. They all have large parts that are categorised as "Fairytale forrest" by the Norwegian Nature Care Association.
